A December 4th workshop will help small businesses and nonprofits create their own website. The Workshop is sponsored by INSTIG8, an arm of the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, and will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the BDCC office at the Cotton Mill.

The workshop will be taught by Bob Lawson, founder of Sustainable Digital, a Putney-based company specializing in web design.

Websites for small businesses and nonprofits are as common today as business cards and play a large role in promoting an enterprise or organization. With the advent of new web tools, such as Squarespace, the job of developing and maintaining a website can now be handled by people without technical training.

In this workshop, Bob Lawson will present a live demonstration of how you can create a simple website from the ground up using Squarespace’s templates and easy editor.

The website basics you’ll learn will include:

How to select a template

How to organize the site and its menu

Using “Blocks” to layout pages

Building a photo gallery

Adding forms and other special features.

About the Instructor: Bob develops websites and provides other digital communication and technology services from his office in Putney, VT. In addition to websites, he helps both nonprofits and for-profits develop and implement their communications strategy.
